Sensory Evaluation of Common Ice Plant (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L.) in Response to Sodium Chloride Concentration in Hydroponic Nutrient Solution [PDF]
Foods, 2022 Common ice plant (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L.) is a novel edible plant with a succulent and savory flavor. The plants display prominent epidermal bladder cells (EBCs) on the surface of the leaves that store water and sodium chloride (NaCl).

Root system architecture analysis in Mesembryanthemum crystallinum (ice plant) seedlings reveals characteristic root halotropic response [PDF]
Biology Open, 2021 One of the major environmental stress factors that affect root growth is salinity. Arabidopsis thaliana, a glycophyte, shows halotropism, whereby it alters the direction of root growth in a non-gravitropic pattern to evade high soil salinity.
